Andreas Mogensen, Denmark's first astronaut in space, just uploaded this to his FB. The Milky rising below our planet. This is his last day on the ISS before he will return back to Earth.

1. OBVIOUSLY FAKED

If it was upside down like that, all the people would fall off.

CHECKMATE, ATHEISTS!

4. And there are no turtles holding it up

... let alone turtles all the way down (McConnell doesn't count).

5. I thought it was Cornyn who had the turtle fetish?

6. No kidding. Look at the love in those eyes

7. Mitch actually does look like a turtle, especially there.

The synchronicity is astounding.

3. Amazing

We had a little cold front that passed through last night,
dropped the humidity, and the Summer stars were crystal clear.

When I was young, we used to call that clustered line of stars across the Summer sky "The Asteroid Belt".
Now, we know better.

We also had a great look at the Perseid Meteor Shower last month.
Breathtaking.


One of the reasons we moved away from the light pollution of the cities is so we could see the Stars again.
We haven't been disappointed.
